Pentium-M (not Pentium 4-M)? That's the best x86 by Intel yet! It's the good parts of the P3, with some updates to make it seem like a P4, and low power. A 1.6GHz PM is roughly equivalent to a 2.2GHz P4(M)
Shit, I meant the CPU. All I remember is that the PowerPC CPU (forget model number) and the Pentium I came out the same year at the same speed - 60MHz.
Then again, the same site that you're linking to shows the PET, which dates back to 1977 - the same year as the original Apple II. I don't consider the Apple I user friendly enough to meet those requirements. If you want computers that complex, might as well go for the MOS KIM-I (1976) or even the Altair 8800 (1974). However, I still think it's Apple all the way.
1. The Apple II was as expandable as a modern ATX system and had a semi-modern file system (not until 1984, though). 2. The Apple II competed with the C64 in that respect. 3. PowerMacs appeared in 1993. Did home (embedded or desktop) RISC appear before then? 4. That's DEFINITELY Apple.
iBook Base Model: 800MHz G3, 128MB SDRAM, 30GB HDD, CD-ROM, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 w/32MB VRAM for $999.00
Dell Inspiron 1100 (not base model, but same price): 2.0GHz Celeron, 128MB DDR SDRAM (shared), 20GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD, Intel Extreme Integrated Graphics (32MB Shared VRAM?) for $699
Keep in mind, Dell's cheap on XP Pro, but doesn't often include it free. OSX KICKS XP HOME (or Pro) ASS. I don't know how an 800MHz G3 stacks up against a 2.0GHz Celeron, but I don't think it can be good. However, note the graphics chips. They're not great, but I'd gladly take a Radeon over an Intel IGP.

I found out there were also ABC signals in there. Sesame Rules for Fucking and sucking my Teenage Daughter? That would be one fucked up show.

OK, my idea was that if the mythical weapons of mass destruction were used on us, or some major earthquake happened, or planes are flown into buildings, people won't care about their 3-year old getting to see Sesame Street. They'll want news, phones, food, water, and shelter. Anyway, scroll up - ABC (and I've heard CBS) use Telstar 4 for their east coast broadcasts.

But what does Telstar DO? I mean, what are the downlink transmissions that you would try to receive? I've heard that it's famous for porn, and I know PBS uses Telstars (including 4) for broadcasting, but what else is there?

I've heard porn was on there, and PBS broadcasts (today's schedule) using Telstars, but is that really vital? I mean, none of the internet is down, and telephone services still work. I understand that PBS is educational, but the vital services in a disaster would be news (only affected if Telstar 4 carried news), telephone, food (I don't think Telstars carry commercial transactions), water (ditto), and shelter (THAT doesn't need a Telstar).
Quick, how much is a 15 second tv spot on MSNBC, CNBC (yes, I know the MS in MSNBC stands for Microsoft, but can they not accept the ad because of that reason?), or CNN?
But "If you are a student, researcher, staff, or faculty member you can download StarOffice for free." Also, "Academic and Research institutions, including Primary and Secondary (K-12) Schools, 2-and 4-year Colleges, and Universities" can get an unlimited site license for the cost of media and shipping.
Also, I found an interesting tidbit out. Compaq bought out DEC, and HP bought out Compaq, right? Well, the "third party" that you mention making 1.2 GHz boxes actually has topped your speed by 50 MHz - and it's HP.
Actually, I can give a damn good example of Alphas used well. It's Super Dimensional Fortress (telnet link). They seem to be under some heavy load - I'm only getting 3 KB/sec off of them... but if you're bored (or think P4 heatsinks are small), go here.
BTW, isn't it the dual-cpu Alpha support in Linux that SCO isn't happy about?

That's outdated though - the NYT article has the laptop battery version, whereas your link has the older lead-acid version.

DOUBLE SPACED? I'm sorry, but I tried doing that on my old laptop, and that just didn't work.
But isn't each Exchange CAL also an Outlook license? Therefore, you could run StarOffice with Outlook - for MUCH less than OS2k3.

Slightly OT, but ever heard of the Ohio Poultry Farms chicken (sold in Ohio only) that was made in SC?
I know the real thing costs the same, but the next cantenna will be a LOT bigger, and will be weatherproofed.

IBM's model M has THE FUCKING BEST ACTION IN THE WORLD. Plus, they're REALLY cheap - as low as $1 at thrift stores.
Erm, that's why they make ADAPTERS. Or, you could take some coax cable, cut off the end, and put that on a Cat5 cable...
